I didn't know ivory gulls had declined so precipitously. Does anyone
know if the decline is related to the decline in polar bears (i.e. fewer
bear kills to feed on)?  Or, are there other factors as well?

This is definitely out of the region but since Ivory
Gull populations have declined 90%, you may want to
see this bird before it's too late :(
